Dr. Sue McCoard is a senior scientist in the Animal Nutrition & Physiology Team and Science Impact Leader for Animal Science at AgResearch Grasslands. Her research aims to understand the role of nutritional programming of key tissues and organ systems during early life, and underpinning mechanisms, on economically important traits for productivity in sheep and cattle including survival, growth, health and lifetime productivity.
